As Juan Carlos Burgos walked out of the ring following his 12 round unanimous decision loss to Hozumi Hasegawa on November 26th, 2010, some wondered if he would even get another opportunity at a world featherweight title. Some wondered if he would even stay relevant in boxing or return to the anonymity of fighting in Mexico. Burgos entered the Hasegawa bout unbeaten in 25 fights, but had beaten modest opposition. The loss to the popular Japanese fighter did force Burgos to go back to the end of the featherweight contender line.
